VARSI TY FOOTBALL Precision-Packed Eagle Power Working together as a well-oiled machine, the nineteen sixty nine varsity football team attained the honor of being one of the three top squads in the county. Although they did not gain a berth in the 4-A finals, this loss came from the flip of a coin and not from playing ability, for East’s gridiron skill was verified time and time again. After endless hours of practice under a broiling summer sun, the. East Eagles faced their first conference opponent, Winston-Salem Atkins, well prepared, both offensively and defensively. Although East was not favored highly, the Eagles upset the Camels for their first conference win. However, it was on this night that East’s dire plague of injuries began. Atkins downed the Eagles starting quarterback, Bruce Robbins, and he was unfortunately assisted off the field with a broken arm. Junior Warren immediately re- placed Robbins as quarterback, and almost instantly, Atkins removed Warren from East’s roster for the night. Finally, in stepped Randy Beeson, who sent on to prove that it is skill, not size, that attributes to a player’s worth, No one player was the sole factor in East’s many vic- tories, for the Eagles operated effectively as a team, and it was this outstanding teamwork that accounted for East’s triumphs. The Eagles soared after their Atkins victory, going on to win game after game. East played hard and well in their decisive game with Reynolds, earning the respect of the Reynolds’ coach. Although this game resulted in a slight marginal victory for Reynolds, it was East’s only con- ference defeat, and the 4-A position was split between Atkins, Reynolds, and East. Atkins went off to the 4-A finals, but nineteen sixty nine will be known in East football annals as the year we lost by the flip of a coin. 176 Up, up and away... NFL material?
